ANNEXURE-III

[Vide (Per) CMD TANGEDCO Proceedings No. 52 (SB), Dated: 02.03.2018]

PROCEDURE FOR REVISION OF PENSIONARY BENEFITS IN RESPECT OF THOSE RETIRED / DIED BETWEEN 01-12-2015 AND 30-09-2017 :

The following guidelines / instructions for strict compliance in processing proposals relating to revision of pensionary benefits in respect of those retired / died between 01-12-2015 and 30-09-2017 :-

i) The significant change in this procedure is that the Pension Sanctioning Authorities is delinked from the payment of revised DCRG since all the recovery would have been effected while making payment of original amount of DCRG and that there would not be any recovery to be effected from the revised DCRG. Hence, payment of revised DCRG shall be made directly by the Chief Internal Audit Officer/ Audit Branch/Chennai instead of making payment through the Pension Sanctioning Authorities.

ii) The Chief Internal Audit Officer/Audit Branch shall undertake the post audit of the pay fixation done by the Pension Sanctioning Authorities and ensure the correctness of the pay fixation. If any erroneous fixation is noticed, downward revision of pension shall be made and the excess payment shall be adjusted before the last instalment of arrears to be paid after giving due notice to the pensioner/family pensioner concerned.

iii) The Pension Sanctioning Authorities are directed to send the pension proposals immediately in respect of employees who retired between 01-12-2015 and 30-09-2017 and to whom original pension proposals in the pre-revised pay structure have not been sent so far after duly fixing their pay in the revised pay structure along with the Service Register indicating that revision has been done. In these cases the Chief Internal Audit Officer/Audit Branch shall issue two authorizations viz. first one for payment of entire pensionary benefits with reference to the pay in the pre-revised pay structure and the second authorization for revised pensionary benefits based on the revised pay structure to be paid in two equal instalments i.e. first installment in the in the month of April, 2018 and second installment in the month of April, 2019.

::2:: iv) In respect of retirees on or after 1-10-2017, pension

proposals should be sent only after fixing the pay in the revised pay structure with reference to (Per) FB TANGEDCO Proceedings No.9 (SB), dated 02.03.2018, (Per) FB TANGEDCO Proceedings No.10 (SB), dated 02.03.2018 separately as hitherto followed.

v) In respect of post audit cases of DCRG shall continue to be authorised by the respective Pension Sanctioning Authorities and revised pension/family pension and revised Commuted Value of Pension shall be authorized by the Chief Internal Audit Officer/Audit Branch.

vi) The employees retired between 01-12-2015 and 30-09-2017 and whose pay has been refixed in the revised pay structure with consequent revision in their pension and who are willing to commute the difference of revised pension, such employees shall clearly indicate their willingness to commute within 3 months to the Pension Sanctioning Authorities so that the same may be clearly indicated in the consolidated proposals forwarded to the Chief Internal Audit Officer/Audit Branch.

vii) All the Pension Sanctioning Authorities are hereby instructed to follow the above guidelines scrupulously in processing the pensionary benefits to those retired between 01-12-2015 and 30-09-2017. However, in respect of retirees on or after 1-10-2017, the pay of the employees shall be fixed in the revised pay structure as ordered in the (Per) FB TANGEDCO Proceedings No.9 (SB), dated 02.03.2018 and (Per) FB TANGEDCO Proceedings No.10 (SB), dated.02.03.2018 and necessary pension proposals as hitherto done shall be forwarded to the Office of the Chief Internal Audit Officer/Audit Branch for issue of necessary authorization.
